The Earth is long dead, blasted apart, and the human survivors who settled on Venus live in huge citadels beneath the Venusian seas in an atrophying, class-ridden society ruled by the Immortals - genetic mutations who live a thousand years or more. Sam Reed was born an immortal, born to rule those with a normal life-span, but his deranged father had him mutilated as a baby so that he wouldn't know of his heritage. And Sam grew up on the wrong side of the tracks and the law, thinking of the Immortals as his enemies. Then he reached the age of eighty, understood what had happened to him and went looking for revenge - and changed his decaying world forever. Fury is a powerful, dark and compelling novel that explores the sensual, bloody and urgent nature of humankind's striving.

The antihero's hatred of man, particularly the man who had had a hand in genetically engineering his genes to produce a short chunky body as that of a pleb (the alternative and, to the reader's sensibilities, normal life span.) His father, the man who did this to him is of an ethereal ( tall, willowy, well shaped head with long limbs, hair, and much grace: a beautiful people) being, the immortals. They live many hundreds and in some cases thousands of yers. Subsequently, in their purview they see patterns over large spans of years with long playing intrigues in their outlook. Contrast this with the plebs' ordinary live span and their search for ordinary and immediate gratifications.
Our man Sam Harker was so cursed because his mother died while birthing him which incurred his father's undying hatred of him. Consequently, his corrupted morals compel him to repulse close associations and to seek ways to exploit the gullible (and the not so gullible.)
Unwittingly Sam becomes a catalyst whose actions spur the elaborate underwater cities of the immortals to rise to the treacherous surface above the water line where an impossibly fertile jungle hellishlly teems with wild and toxic life forms that lean toward voratiousness, both to itself and the hapless.
The theme is mitigated in this dense novel by subplots which unfolds to reach the final unfurling of the various karmas.Hence, lies the fruits of the antipathies which fuel the storyline.
The pacing is slow and steady, yet some may rejoice in its plodding trek in the march toward solution.
